In particular, to ascertain whether extra care housing: acts as a preventative model, supporting independence and avoiding admissions into residential care; and The resultant findings revealed that the financial impact of the findings was considerable, with the evaluation indicating that the cost of extra care housing was on average half the gross cost of the alternative placements.
